The Good Old Days from such heights on Vimeo.

I know I'm not too much of a bargain
And you know that's not what you bargained for
As the hours turn into days
Pretty soon lost in the haze
It's up to you and me
And who's to say
These could be the good old days

I like waking up after a bad dream
Makes it feel like life ain't bad
Little kids go out to play
They're just happy it's another day
It's up to you and me
And who's to say
These could be the good old days

I guess I could be a quiet hero
No one knows the good I've done
You're not sure
Well that's okay
'cause I am
And I'm not afraid
It's up to you and me
And who's to say
These could be the good old days.

Thank you, I'm so glad it worked for you. *shares your ;_;*

Came back to watch this again in hopes of giving better feedback. One thing that really stands out and makes this work is your employment of subtlety - a lot of show 'moments' are used as staples in FMVs, and this FMV avoided them, picking instead, little general 'regular' bits. Some of the bits hinted at those bigger moments, but cut off before completion, and I think that added a lot of depth, as though some things are too tough to look at head-on.

Oh, that's great that you picked that out - I tried to avoid the obvious clips, so I'm glad those choices were successful. Thanks again!
